Starscream tiptoed trough the eerily quiet hallways of the Nemesis. Soft, low grunts and the scraping of metal pedesteps dragging across the floor sent a shiver down his spine. This was all his fault. He had abandoned Knockout a few cycles ago.
Suddenly, an ear splitting cry of terror reached Starscream's audio receptors. His optics widened when he realized that was Knockout's scream. A hint of regret flooded into his helm. He had dragged Knockout into this mess, and now he was probably another one of the.... infected.... the thought made him shiver.
"E...energon......" rasped a low, deep voice. Starscream jumped and spun around. Limping slowly towards him, was Knockout. His armour was an absolute catastrophe. Starscream cringed at the thought of how the terrorcons must have slowly ripped him apart.
Starscream slowly backed away, the infected Knockout slowly dragging himself towards his next victim. Starscream's crimson horror-struck optics were wide with fear. Freshly shed energon dripped from Knockout's jagged jaws, his fangs revealed in a bloodthirsty smirk.
Knockout suddenly let loose an animalistic screech and ran at Starscream with his arms outstretched, clawed servos aimed for the silver seeker's neck. Starscream yelped in surprise as Knockout held him against the wall. "I-I'm s-sorry Knockout!" Starscream slowly choked out, the fear evident in his voice.
There was a dangerous glint in Knockouts optic. Far too late for apologizes... Starscream shrieked in agony as the infected mech started extracting his very life blood. Starscream twisted around and away from the wall, trying to get free.
Knockout's optics narrowed and he violently swatted the Second-in-command on the chassis, sending him stumbling into the wall again. Starscream could feel his strength slowly being drained and his optics dimmed.
His knees buckled, and he sank to the floor. Starscream let his helm droop loosely, as he had no strength remaining to stare at his oppressor. I've been a fool. Starscream's broken optics faded to a lifeless grey, and his corpse fell limp.
Knockout glared at the body for a moment, then slowly limped away, in search of his next victim. All the while energon dripping from his fangs and onto the floor.
Starscream's body jolted slightly, and his optics slowly opened to reveal a menacing maroon shade. "Ener.....gon......" he murmured, and slowly rose to his pedes.
A deathly smirk plastered on his faceplates, the infected Second in command stalked down the hallways in search of his first victim....
